Beat the Heat this Summer by Being Aware of How it Affects Your Car.
This has been an extreme summer of HEAT! And, this heat can be as hard on your car as it can be on you. So in this blog, the experts at Meineke in York delve into a few ways the heat works against you when it comes to your car.
Tire Degradation
The heat along with the scorching hot road surface amplifies the break-down of tires. Because, as the rubber of your tires and the heat of the pavement increases, friction and ware can cause overdying and cracking. Plus, heat can cause the expansion of air, leading to over-inflation that can imped optimal braking and may even cause a blow-out.
Strains Cooling Systems
Cooling systems are designed to keep our engines at a safe operating temperature. And while this is critical under normal conditions, in the summer it makes it even more so. So, make sure you have high quality coolant to prevent your engine from overheating. And, the heat of summer is a good time to swing by your local auto service center and just check that cooling is adequate.
Failing Wiper Blades
Just as the heat can degrade the rubber on your tires, so can it degrade the rubber on your wiper blades. And nothing is more annoying than when it starts to rain, you flip on your wiper blades, and it just smears across your windshield. Because it’s not only aggravating, it’s definitely unsafe.
Oil Breakdown
The summer heat leads to an increased breakdown of engine oil, making your engine work harder and wear down sooner. So, invest in quality oil to save money in the long run.
